    A strong musty smell wafts out from the square, two-story building. The wooden door panels have long turned black, and the original color cannot be distinguished. The plaque with the words "Jubao Pavilion" is drooping.  Above your head, it could fall down at any time.  "Mr. Gui, are you sure this is the place?" Lin Dong was a little hesitant. It was hard to imagine what treasures there would be in this place, but Lin Dong had no doubt about the number of rats inside.  "It's absolutely true, don't you feel a powerful spiritual power surging?" Mr. Gui was a little intoxicated.  Lin Dong still believed in Gui Lao's perception ability, but this place was dilapidated, old, and a little weird, making it difficult for people to like it.  There are many old-fashioned shelves in the dark room, most of which are empty. A sloppily dressed middle-aged man is lying on the counter and dozing off, making a loud sound.  "It's not in this room, keep walking along the door." The door that Mr. Gui said led directly to the inner room. Lin Dong hesitated whether to wake up the shop owner.  He walked to the side of the middle-aged man and was about to speak when the man suddenly changed his movements and continued to sleep, saying: "Ten gold coins." Lin Dong discovered that a sign suddenly appeared on the counter. This was  A wooden number plate covered in grease.  "It's interesting." Lin Dong took out ten gold coins from his arms and threw them on the counter. The currency of Mingwu Continent is gold coins and silver coins. Lin Dong had already found out from Zhuang Zhou before he came, and he brought a lot of gold this time.  Bring the jewelry just in case you need it.  After taking the sign and walking into the inner room, Lin Dong turned left and right for a long time. Lin Dong came to a place that seemed to be a warehouse.  The room is very large. On the left are rows of wooden treasure shelves. There are boxes on the shelves. Each box is locked and has a number on it.  There are more than a dozen people sitting sparsely on the right side. There are all kinds of people. Some are dressed in gorgeous clothes, and some have sinister expressions in their eyes. They all seem to be waiting for something.  There was a boy leaning on the door, slapping boredly, haha.  "Little brother, may I ask where this place is?" Lin Dong asked, throwing him a few gold coins.  The boy took the gold coin, weighed it in his hand a few times, and lazily put the gold coin in his arms. "Today is our monthly auction in the Jubao Pavilion. The boxes on the left are the auction items. If you like it, you can take it."  "Auction box? What's in the box?" Lin Dong asked confusedly. In other auctions, things are put out for auction. It's better to put the items in the box so that no one can see it. What do you mean?  "Sir, you look like you are from outside. Our Jubao Pavilion is only open one day a month. All the items for auction are secretly auctioned. What is in the box depends on luck. It may be worth thousands of gold, or it may be nothing.  It¡¯s hard to say whether it¡¯s worth it.¡± Lin Dong understood that this kind of gameplay is like gambling, it all depends on luck.  He walked to the row of boxes on the left and looked at them one by one.  These boxes are almost identical and come in three sizes: large, medium and small. They are made of cheap pine wood and coated with a thin layer of paint.  "Mr. Gui, which box are the super-grade raw materials you mentioned in?" Lin Dong asked.  "No. 79."  As the number of people gradually increased, Lin Dong found a secluded seat and sat there quietly waiting.  As it approached noon, there were more than two hundred people in the room.  A fat middle-aged man quickly walked up to the front desk. This man was no more than 1.5 meters tall. When he stood on the stage, he looked like a big ball.  "Everyone knows the rules, so I won't talk nonsense. Jubao Pavilion's monthly auction will definitely have high-quality products. As for whether you can get the photo or not, it depends on your luck." The short fat man spoke very quickly, like a barrage of cannons, and there were many people in the audience.  Everyone shows a greedy expression. Gambling is human nature. Even if they know that the chance of winning is very small, many people are still willing to take the risk.  "Box No. 1 starts at one hundred gold coins. Is anyone willing to pay one hundred gold coins?" the short fat man asked.  Everyone was hesitating, and no one raised their hands.  "No one bids. No. 1 failed. Now it's No. 2. Who will pay 100 gold coins for No. 2?" So fast, the short fat man just asked a simple question. If no one bids, he will jump to the next one without any hesitation.  Care about whether things are sold.  Normally, he is afraid that things will not sell during auctions, but this is good. He seems to be in a hurry to be reincarnated and is not willing to waste any time.  The first eight lots were all from different genres, but only from the ninth lot did people start bidding, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.  A richly dressed young man bought nine pieces of gold for one hundred and fifty gold coins.When you open the box, you will see a shining golden saber inside. The gold handle alone will cost no less than 150 gold coins, not to mention that it is studded with various gems.  The crowd was in an uproar. They all envied the young man's good luck and regretted not taking decisive action just now.  Immediately afterwards, box No. 10 sold for a high price of 320 gold coins and was bought by a bald man. When he opened it, he saw that there was only a horn comb inside.  The bald man broke the comb in anger. Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have a single hair on his head. What¡¯s the use of a comb?  Besides, this comb can cost a hundred gold coins, so it¡¯s not worth anything at all.  Lin Dong sat in the corner and watched with slightly squinted eyes. It was like a human comedy, with greed, jealousy, surprise, resentment, and countless emotions playing out one after another.  He made a calculation in his mind. Forty-one of the first fifty items were sold, of which only two were valuable, and the rest were junk. The owner of this Treasure Pavilion made at least 10,000 gold coins from it.  Next to Lin Dong sat two teenagers of seventeen or eighteen years old, one with black hair and one with brown hair. They were dressed gorgeously. The black-haired boy was very handsome, with a pair of big eyes that flickered, while the brown-haired one had a stern look on his face.  The young and beautiful bean, with her nostrils pointing upward, looked very vulgar.  The brown-haired boy spent 2,800 gold coins to take pictures of two boxes, but he only got a child's slingshot and a secondary energy card.  The brown-haired boy seemed very unwilling and wanted to continue filming, "Fourth Senior Brother, stop filming. I think this place is just a scam." The black-haired boy advised.  The brown-haired boy pouted and said disapprovingly: "Xiao Liu, didn't you see that that person took a photo of an emerald fan? That thing is worth at least five thousand gold coins. As long as I take a photo of one, I can make up for all my losses."  ." The black-haired boy held his chin and looked helpless, so he had no choice but to let him continue his nonsense.  The brown-haired boy always likes to raise prices with others. The more people buy, the more enthusiastic he becomes, and he doesn't even look at those boxes that no one cares about.  "Actually, those boxes that no one buys may not necessarily contain good things. This kind of secret shooting relies on luck. Only by spending the least cost to shoot the most boxes can you hope to save money." It's not yet the 70th year that Lin Dong wants.  No. 9, who had nothing to do anyway, casually said this to the two teenagers.  The black-haired boy nodded, "I think so too. The so-called secret photography is just a technique of merchants. If you really spend a lot of money to buy these boxes, they will fall into their trap." The brown-haired boy didn't like to hear this.  When he said that, he glared at Lin Dong, "I have money, can you take care of it?" Uh This kid was quite aggressive when he spoke. This is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't understand good people. Lin Dong shook his head and stopped paying attention to him.  , if it weren¡¯t for his age, Lin Dong wouldn¡¯t bother to pay attention.  ¡°Brother, don¡¯t be angry with my Fourth Senior Brother, he didn¡¯t mean that.¡± The black-haired boy said politely.  Lin Dong chuckled and said: "I won't be angry. After all, this is not my business." "Huh!" The boy with an upturned nose snorted coldly, "I guess you understand the truth, get out of here, sir.  I get upset when I see you!¡±  Lin Dong only felt an unknown karma hit his head, and his face changed slightly.  The black-haired boy on the side quickly comforted Lin Dong: "Brother, please don't be angry. Fourth Senior Brother did it unintentionally. It was unintentional." At this time, the short fat man took out the box No. 79, and Lin Dong suppressed the anger in his heart.  Don't bother with him anymore.  After several rounds of bidding, the price was raised to 1,200 gold coins. This price was already quite high, and no one was willing to continue bidding.  "One thousand and five." Lin Dong then raised his number plate.  As soon as he finished speaking, the brown-haired boy also raised his number plate and said bitterly, "Two thousand!" Lin Dong calmly raised the sign and said, "Ten thousand." Ten thousand!  The crowd exclaimed. Before this, the highest price of a box was only 4,200 gold coins, but this time Lin Dong directly raised the price from 2,000 to 10,000.  The brown-haired boy gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Dong, "Ten thousand and one!" Just add one gold coin?  Any fool can see that he is deliberately provoking.  Lin Dong chuckled and said: "Thirty thousand." Lin Dong is not short of money, and he doesn't care at all how much he spends. The brown-haired boy really made a mistake in trying to overwhelm Lin Dong in this aspect.  Thirty thousand!  The noise was so huge that it almost knocked down the roof. This was not 30,000 pesos, but yellow and orange gold coins!  The brown-haired boy's expression changed drastically. He already had 30,000 gold coins.It exceeded his inner limit, and he never expected that Lin Dong would be so courageous and regard money as dirt.  "You're cruel! Just wait for me!" He stood up and said angrily.  Lin Dong smiled and said nothing. He let out a bad breath and naturally felt happy. As for the few small coins, he didn't care at all.  "Thirty thousand and one!" A voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Dong, muddy and hoarse.  Lin Dong turned around and saw that the person bidding was a middle-aged man in his forties.  This man was wearing a big red robe with a big word "Îä" embroidered on it.  His face looked very pale, with a huge black mole in the middle of his chin, and three black hairs on it.  "Dad!" The brown-haired boy saw the backer, ran over and shouted loudly, his face full of pride.  Lin Dong smiled slightly, it turned out that I was here, and I didn¡¯t know who this person was.  He ignored the strange-looking father and son and raised his number plate high. He planned to bid a price that no one could resist. After all, box No. 79 contained a super-grade raw material. No matter what,  Gotta get it too.  At this time, the short fat man on the stage ran down with the smiling face, still holding the box in his arms.  "Master Ling! I didn't expect you to come. I would like to send you my regards." After saying that, the short fat man bowed deeply to him. Everyone present also looked respectful and respected the man named Ling.  The man in red robe named Ling ignored the short fat man and said to his son: "Son, the most important thing for a person in the world is face. You must not lose the face of our Ling family just because of a few small coins. Since you want to fight for that  We have to fight to the end." Lin Dong was slightly startled, this was clearly meant for him to hear.  "Master Ling, this is your box." The short fat man handed box No. 79 to the man in red robe.  The man in red robe took the box and threw it to the brown-haired boy, "Liu Er, I don't have that much money with me. I'll ask someone to come to my house to collect the bill later." Liu Er dared to say hurriedly, "This is what you want, old man."  "It's not too late for Liu Er to show his respect. Just think of this as a gift from me to Young Master Ling." "Well, in that case, I won't be polite." After saying that, the man in red robe left.  Mr. Ling glanced at Lin Dong relentlessly.  "Wait a minute, you can leave, leave your things for me." Lin Dong stood up and said, "How dare you! How did you say that! This is the master of Ling Yun Martial Arts School, why don't you apologize quickly!" Liu, the short fat man, said  Er shouted loudly. Obviously, he was extremely afraid of the Master Ling.     Snapped!  As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dong slapped Liu Er on the face with a big mouth, leaving five bright red handprints.  "I'm your grandma." Lin Dong said unreasonably: "This box hasn't been auctioned yet, so I'm not sure who it belongs to." The black-haired boy on the side kept tugging at Lin Dong's sleeves, hinting that he didn't want it.  Too talkative, but it's a pity that Lin Dong's bad temper has already risen, and I can't control it even if I am the king of heaven.  "This box is mine. I won't take pictures now. Do you care?" Liu Er said, covering his face.     Snapped!  Another big mouth slapped Liu Er in the face, "You have to take pictures even if you don't take them! You can't make the decision!" "Haha." Hall Master Ling laughed wildly, "Boy, you are very arrogant.  " As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen strong men in red suddenly came out and surrounded Lin Dong.  Lin Dong glanced at them coldly with his eyes, murderous intent was evident!
